We had a great week at Forest School we enjoyed making our own flat bread and cooking it on the fire and then toasting marshmallows :)
Mrs English told us an Autumn story under the trees. It was really magical as the Autumn leaves were falling all around us. She then helped us to make bird feeders for our gardens using pine cones, lard and seeds.
Week Three Forest School
This week we enjoyed orienteering and identifying insects with Mrs English. We also went pond dipping and we caught a fish!
We enjoyed building dens using a timber hitch knot. Then we decorated them with string leaf lights and made pretend camp fires around them. I'm sure you will agree all our dens are fantastic!
Week Two Forest School
We really enjoyed creating a 'Conker comet' this week. We used a Conker clamp and a hand drill to create our unique Conkers. Then we enjoyed playing a game with them to see who could get their Conkers into the hoop!
We also enjoyed pond dipping and using identification charts to spot interesting pond life. We caught 3 fish which have now been rehomed in Mrs Bates's pond.
